The funds raised by the Side come from three sources:from membership subscriptions paid by Side members, currently £20.00 per
annum (not charged in the first year of membership), from collections during our
performances at local public houses etc, and finally from the fees charged for
dancing at events. This money is paid into our "bag" (our bank account) and from
this fund we pay expenses such as hire of hall, insurance, subscriptions etc. At
the end of the year we donate as much as we can to charity, apart from a prudent
float, as agreed at our AGM in November.

We support two local charities in Rickmansworth on a regular basis. These
are Swan Care, who look after the swans on Rickmansworth Aquadrome and the
waterways in the area, and
CVSS who teach children and adults with disabilities to sail on the Aquadrome. We have
been able to donate £420 to each of these charities in 2014.
